Recipe Analytics
What real recipes reveal about typical brewing practice: vital-stat ranges by BJCP style, and the ingredients brewers actually reach for. Every number here is computed from the recipes, using the same IBU, colour, and style engines that power this calculator.

What brewers are making now
A read on recent community output (2025-26).
- Hazy IPA is the modern wave. It is the fastest-rising new-wave style, well ahead of the next.
- IPA leads, but not alone. American IPA and Pale Ale top the list, with a strong middle of sessionable and classic European styles: Saison, Witbier, Blonde.
- Citra and Cascade run neck and neck. The classic American C-hops still outrank the newer varieties.
- Clean American ale yeast dominates. US-05 style strains carry close to a quarter of recipes; hazy strains are emerging but still niche.
- Adjuncts are getting adventurous. Orange peel, vanilla, grapefruit, hibiscus, honey and lime are showing up, alongside seltzers, fruited sours and the odd Brut IPA.
